this is my base code: http://plnkr.co/edit/PuzsgIgpRKUwuXbyIMSq?p=preview.
I want to visualize the datepicker popup only on button click and not on input focus.
Moreover the data in the input element should be visualized as dd/MM/yyyy and this is a problem because it can't be parsed as Date since it is not a ISO 8601 allowed format.
Of course, when a correct date is inserted in the input element it should be reflected in the datepicker and when a date is selected in the datepicker it should be put in the input element (as it is shown in the example plunker) in the dd/MM/yyyy format (in the plunker the format is yyyy-MM-dd).
Thanks in advance,
Alberto
